The 59-year-old superstar just got his first $100 million opening weekend with 'Top Gun: Maverick.'
LOS ANGELES -- Forget breaking the sound barrier: Tom Cruise just flew past a major career milestone.
Though undeniably one of the biggest stars in the world - perhaps even"the last movie star," according to various headlines - Cruise is not known for massive blockbuster openings. "This is one of the longest runways for a marketing campaign for any film ever. And it only served to create more excitement around the movie," said Paul Dergarabedian, the senior media analyst for Comscore."This movie literally waited for the movie theater to come back."
The new film has Cruise reprising the role of Maverick, who returns to the elite aviation training program to train the next generation of flyers, including Miles Teller, Glen Powell, Monica Barbaro, Greg Tarzan Davis, Danny Ramirez, Lewis Pullman and Jay Ellis. Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm and Val Kilmer, reprising his role from the original, also star.
